* AccidentalMisnaming: Well... not so much "accidental" as "just not interested". Initially, Sensei doesn't give Tama the chance to tell him her name, instead calling her Tama, a common Japanese cat name. Even once he does discover her original name, it doesn't matter to him, and he continues to call her Tama.



* TheAtoner: The Cowardly Man was usually ignored and alone most of his life, not made easier since he had to use a wheelchair. When he makes a friend who defends him from bullies, he panics in a situation where he could have returned the favor, this being when he is summoned as an otherworlder. Feeling immense guilt for this, he anonymously donates food to an orphanage uses his "[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Werewolf]]" gift to deter bandits and monsters that would do them harm. [[spoiler:Sensei returns him to the moment when he was summoned, with implications that he and his friend will make-up and be just fine.]]

** Eliza was harassed and bullied by boys her whole life for standing out, causing her to develop [[DoesNotLikeMen a hatred of men]], and sought refuge in her only friend's fantasy stories, but it came crashing down when her friend's boyfriend attempted to rape her, her friend caught them in the act, and blamed ''her'' for being a whore, based on Eliza's false reputation for [[ReallyGetsAround getting around]]. When she arrived in Zauberberg, she gained Lust-themed powers that let her bring others under her thrall, losing themselves in blissful memories. Although initially one of the Fallen Angels, she had the opportunity to make a new life for herself with elf girl Diantha, but having other elves come looking for the otherworlder - officially as an enemy of the church, but unofficially with lecherous thoughts on their mind - pushed her to return to her original mission.



* GoodAllAlong: Everyone in Toneriko village sees the witch Esche as a CategoryTraitor for siding with the otherworlds who set up Toneriko Casino, when really she only worked for them in exchange for leaving the villagers alone.

* DeconReconSwitch: While a lot of the plot pokes of fun or deconstructs tropes associated with the Isekai genre, beneath it all it's still a story about a person from our world being TrappedInAnotherWorld with unique abilities meant to save this fantasy land from threats both mythic and domestic. While the Demon Lord is slain at the very start of the story, TheChosenMany that slew him replaces him as a LegionOfDoom, each of whom is dispatched one at a time by the protagonist and his party with ThePowerOfFriendship.

While the narrative initially presents the vast majority of them as turncoats who immediately tried their hand at conquering the world once the Demon Lord was dead and they realized nobody could stop them and the rest as distorted stunted individuals, Sensei's "Storyteller" ability tells a very different tale. All of the otherworlders summoned were people that exceptionally miserable lives on Earth, with all the emotional baggage and turmoil that entails. And while the church tries to tell their chosen heroes to be happy to receive this second chance at life, their new lives often turn out to be far worse off due to the added weight of being forcibly tasked with saving the world. Whether they're recruited to be ChildSoldiers for countries that treat them as disposable human weapons, forced to fend for themselves in the wilderness fighting monsters, or helplessly trying to navigate through a fantasy world filled with people who despise and want them dead around every corner, the majority of them [[FreudianExcuse go insane]] and [[ThenLetMeBeEvil abuse their cheat-like skills to obtain the happiness they were promised in their own twisted way]]. Ultimately, despite the harm many of them have caused with their immense power, they're still ordinary people being forced to totally abandon lives that while miserable were still their own. Notably, when Sensei uses his skill to banish the otherworlders back to their original world, it's depicted as an incredibly merciful act that allows them a true second chance at turning their lives around.

* AntiHero: Sensei is a suicidal weirdo who found himself summoned in a StandardFantasySetting, his only goal in life being to find his lover so that they could attempt their SuicidePact again. That said, he won't let innocent people die with him if he could help it, his lack of a verbal filter is often mistaken for BrutalHonesty and his weird luck makes him come across as someone who's blasé attitude toward danger comes across as confidence. Annette decides to leave her post at her chapel and become his traveling companion both to protect him (since his stats are garbage and he has no self-preservation) and because he isn't like any other otherworlder she's ever met.

* AntiHero: Sensei is a suicidal weirdo who found himself summoned in a StandardFantasySetting, his only goal in life being to find his lover so that they could attempt their SuicidePact again. That said, he won't let innocent people die with him if he could help it, his lack of a verbal filter is often mistaken for BrutalHonesty and his weird luck makes him come across as someone who's blase attitude toward danger comes across as confidence. Annette decides to leave her post at her chapel and become his traveling companion both to protect him (since his stats are garbage and he has no self-preservation) and because he isn't like any other otherworlder she's ever met.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Part of Sensei's "Storyteller" ability is how he acknowledges that otherworlders his power affects aren't the straight-up villains or losers they are initially made-out to be, but rather broken people that can be mended (the Cowardly Man is more brave than he thinks, that Yuriko isn't greedy, but wants to be acknowledged, etc) before tearing up the rough-draft, sending them back to live their old lives with renewed hope in their futures.

* FreudianExcuse:
** Zuk was originally a repeat victim of bullying back in Japan. After he was summoned with a MindControl ability at his disposal, the sudden lack of helplessness went to his head and he became a tyrant.
** Kashiwahara was originally a LonelyRichKid that became violently abusive to those around him (a maid and a himeless man just being two examples) in his attempts at filling the void, his wealthy parents shielding him from any consequences. When he came to Zauberberg, that void manifested in his Gluttony-themed divine gifts.

The more good and innocent they are, the more susceptible they are to his power.
** Kashiwahara is the "Fallen Angel of Gluttony", his divine gift being the ability to summon a giant set of fanged teeth to eat who or whatever he wants, from whole people to even an entire building. He shows up to conquer Grün just because he likes the taste of demi-humans, bluntly telling the crowd of onlookers that he plans on eating all of them.

In the magical world of Zauberberg, the Cleric Annette is duty bound to magically summon a hero from an otherworld to protect mankind from the destructive influence of the Dark Lord, just as she has done many times before. All previous adventurers she had summoned were proven to be selfish and inept, but one more can't hurt, right?

The newest hero brought to their world is a man who goes by Osamu Dazai, or Sensei. He's an author by trade, his stats are below the bare minimum, he has no special skills or magic and all he wants to do is die. In fact, his only goal in life is to die a beautiful death with his lover, wherever she may be now.
